Bloc party - discography

Equally inspired by Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Gang of Four, and the Cure, South London art-punkers Bloc Party mix angular sonics with pop structures. Consisting of singer/guitarist Kele Okereke, guitarist Russell Lissack, bassist/singer Gordon Moakes, and drummer Matt Tong, the band was formerly known as Angel Range and Union before settling on Bloc Party. Okereke and Lissack met each other through mutual friends at the Reading Festival, and discovered that they had musical tastes as well as friends in common. Tong and Moakes soon joined their collaboration, and under the name Union, the quartet issued a demo in early 2003; later that year, they switched their name to Bloc Party. ...

review:After the success of Thick as a Brick, Jethro Tull moved to France for tax purposes and began recording their new album. They didn't finish recording there, but much of what they did do formed the nucleus for A Passion Play, which was completed back in England. This album was another single-song affair, but the musical style had drifted yet again.


This time the addition of saxophones played by Ian Anderson gave the band a very different sound; coupled with some somewhat unconventional melodies, this reminds me a little of Gentle Giant, though the Ian Anderson songwriting style is unmistakable.
